Actually you are hearing the voices in my head. That voice is telling me “You only have $15 cash to your name. Do the right thing: Treat yourself to a tall cold brew coffee, a chocolate croissant & a fresh copy of the Sunday New York Times.” Not a bad voice to hear when you consider the other more murderous possibilities... yikes!
The tutorial is almost perfect. Two things to consider, once you place the bombilla you never move it ever again (unless it clogs, in which case you barely wiggle it). Another thing is that you sip it from the center of you mouth, not towads the sides. The rest is just about perfect. Nice job!
@@zlatanibrahimovic7137 the bombilla is metal and water is above 83-85 degrees, depending how hot you take it. I think you are more sensitive from the sides, so you don't want that hot metal in a sensitive area. EDIT: Testing as I'm writing this, it's easier to control flow from the center.
Hi friend.. as an Argentinian fan of mate im going to said this to you just once, because you seems like a nice guy: do not touch the bombilla ever again..once you got prepared the mate leave it there! Dont giggle it.. its not a soup man... Keep enjoying that beverage of the gods.
Thank you Mauro for the compliment and the advice. I love your love for Mate! This gives me a great idea: I should do a follow up video about the 10 commandments of Yerba Mate!
6th Commandment: Don’t mess with the bombilla. In the event that the bombilla clogs up, pass the Mate back to the Matero. Positioning the bombilla is an art that if not mastered might possibly ruin the whole Mate. In some cases even forcing the Matero to prepare a new one. Clogging may occur because of the type of Mate or because the bombilla is faulty or was not positioned right. In any case, you have every right to complain, but never EVER attempt to fix it yourself! Pass the Mate back to the Matero and let him have a look at it. So don’t fiddle with the bombilla, NEVER fiddle with the bombilla. Have I mentioned never to fiddle with the bombilla?
Encounter Yerba Mate jajajajaj you said it!! It seems like you are well instructed... keep on track.. and im at your disposition for any help, i would like to serve you a mate from my 20 year old mate, im sure your would-be amaze.
I just had my first traditional mate this morning and used this video as a guide. It's so good... I was brewing mate in a coffee maker but there is no going back after having it this way. Thanks for the great tutorial!
@@alejandrollanten9689 It’s really quite decent made in a coffee maker, but it definitely tastes and looks different than traditional. For the last year I’ve only had it the traditional way, had some just this morning in fact!
I used to live in Argentina many years ago and haven't drunk mate for probably 20+ years. I got the craving to try it again and ordered some. I needed a refresher on how to prepare it. This was excellent. I even picked up some new stuff. Oh, and if you want to be legit, say the first part like boam (rhymes with foam) instead of like the english word bomb. Boam-bee-shza. Excellent video!
You can also pronounce it differently. Instead of “sha” some people say “ya”. So like bom-be-ya. I seem quite a few people pronouncing it that way. I guess it depends on the region of the world year from though.
@@mikemikemikemikemikemeup argentinians say bombishza because they say their double l's (ll) like shza instead of ya like most other latinos. as a cuban i pronounce it like boam bee ya
I think someone was filming this from a DVD player screen and making goofy commentary about this guy’s somewhat absurd specifications as to his way (or the highway) on making mate tea. Mystery Science Theater it is not!
We have those "mate cocido bag" every home in Argentina always has those, we drink mate cocido with milk especially on rainy days, mate cocido and tortas fritas is mandatory in rainy days
What’s up bro, I’m from Buenos Aires Argentina, one thing, you are putting way to much Yerba there, it should never be like a mountain, and also, once you poured water the first time, never touch the bombilla again, at least that’s what we do here. But everything else was perfect, good video, respect
So many things wrong lol you have to cure it first. Secondly the straw has to already be onside the cup before you put the yerba in. Thirdly I have never in my life seen someone or have shaken it lol Never shake around your straw that's a no go. Coming from someone born in Argentina who drinks mate everyday, don't follow these steps.
You are "sort-of" doing it right...but good god man, you have way too much in there. You hardly have any room for the water. You should be able to get more than three sips out of a gourd that size. Also, if you enjoy the bitter taste, you can use hot water rather than room-temp water in the beginning. The only reason room-temperature water is used is for two reasons, it reduces the bitterness of the first cup, and it cools the hot water down. If you're not concerned about the bitterness, use hot water to begin with and let it sit for a few minutes. The first few sips will put hair on your chest, but at least you won't have to deal with the equivalent of tepid coffee.
To me you shouldn't start with the hot water because it will be too hot for the next mates, don't do that. What I do is to go first with room-temperature water, and wait a bit. Then hot water, and wait until the yerba consumes it for 2 or 3 minutes. Then place the bombilla and prepare your first mate.
Hi broo ! Nice vídeo... Thank you from Argentina. Well, respect to the cold water like a first step, is because we don't burn the "yerba" with the first hot water ! Sorry by my english ! Byee (P.d.: never touch the "bombilla")
I'm drinking it for the first time now. Biggest advantage over tea is : 🧉doesn't cool down like tea does. Bcz a cup of tea is 100% liquid, but 🧉can contain the heat and even the wooden gourd (mine is not leathered, but is wood) keeps the leaves brewing as you drink. 👍
@@Stagfire222 Hi, first I thought you're taking about graphics cards, because u said sapling (I heard scalping 😂😂) I don't know how to find seed, sorry. Btw, u can drink maté with cold water, it's the common way in Uruguay 🇺🇾 and this way it would be called Maté Tereré 👌
Yes there a much easier ways to make it. Just put some mate dry tea into a coffee filter cone, pour hot water through it, let it steep as it drips slowly into a cup. If it’s too strong put a little more boiling water in. And just drink it out of a cup like regular tea, I understand the Bomba thing is a cultural thing but come on... it’s about drinking the tea from cup to mouth with no middleman in between!
Me parece que pusiste mucha yerba, para el tamaño de ese mate... xDD Y no tenés que mover la bombilla, la yerba se va a ir humedeciendo de a poco. Buen video.
I'm a Argentine and I approve this message, the room temp h2o step I never use, I use the same water we boil but before it gets 2 hot, I think warm h2o wakes the yerba better, also ya'll should try adding some grapefruit or orange or mandarin peels as well some coffee, I know we have all kinds of yerbas but back on the day that's how we flavor it. Nice the use of your yyyyyyy when u said bombilla (bombiya) andi didn't know my name Earl like mate.
@zenpool I added while preparing ,a little yerba, the peels and more yerba on top of peels. Maje sure you bend the peels a little so they release their natural oils.
He’s obviously not from Argentina… Look you out the straw in first then the Yerba about 60 % of the container of Yerba.. theme you warm the water before boil.. Then you put the water in the cup close to the rim That’s it This guys is nuts
Hmmmmmm... You can make the same effect by basically pouring in mate, putting bombilla into mate, put some water for mate to drain it and wait 5 minutes. What you are doing is just... weird stuff :D Oh, btw, don't touch bombilla after you put water into matero, because you will clog it.
Post the initial rinse with cold water quickly, why not add it to the traditional Chinese tea flask...add hot water and drink instead of using the bombesha (sorry for the spelling). Why make it complicated ? Or is there something I am failing to see ?
Felipe Fgd cultura guarani! Matto Grosso del sur y fue territorio paraguayo perdido en la triple alianza Misiones formosa territorios de paraguay q lo perdió en la triple alianza Asique las zonas donde toman el tereré es porq fue territorio paraguayo Que hoy 2018 son d brasil y argntina. Pero el verdadero dueño de esa cultura es Paraguay .. lamentablemente perdió todo en la guerra . Asique si hablan el GUARANÍ son los que limitan cn Paraguay . Brasil no tiene idea del idioma a nivel nacional. Argntina no tiene idea del guarani a nivel nacional. Si se habla s en las fronteras y en los territorios q perdió n la guerra triple alianzaa PARAGUAY. GUARANÍ idioma oficial del Paraguay 🇵🇾🇵🇾🇵🇾 Tereré bebida nacional del Paraguayy 🇵🇾🇵🇾consumida a nivel nacional. Paraguay raza guarani. Cuidamos nuestro idioma desde el principio. Valoramos el idioma nativo el GUARANÍ.. Argntina y brasil nos llamaban indiooss. Y hay pruebas Fíjense. Y hoy ?? Resulta que quieren ser guaranies????? Ya se qedaron con los territorios paraguayos ahora quieren la cultura. Paraguay 100% guarani y con orgullo
Felipe Fgd 😂🤣😂🤣😂xq dices que no tiene nacionalidad???? Si tu mismo podess q es d argentina brasil y Paraguay.. El único que dice tonterías sos vos .. Mira la historia que zonas habitaban los guaranies. Y verás que es Paraguay es el más guaranitico.. Ok. Las zonas donde toman tereré y hablan n guarani es en la frontera cn el paraguay o peor aún territorio paraguayo perdido en la triple alianza ok y mas q confirmado. Investiga antes d hablar. Brasil no tiene la mínima idea del guarani ni el tereré a nivel nacional.. Ya que tienes Internet fijate como hay millones d brazileros y argntinos que no saben nada d guarani y que son respetuosos y aceptan q s cultura paraguaya. La gran mayoría lo sabee. Matee consumen a nivel nacional la argentina. Y el Tereré a nivel nacional Paraguay
Felipe Fgd yo no me auto humilló.. Estoy conversando en forma respetuosa y por supuesto que no es todo matto Grosso sur Eso se sabee. Brasil tenia muchísimas lenguas nativas lamentablemente perdió casi todo x no cuidar lo autóctono.. Y x ser el portugués a nivel nacional. Lo que digo es fácil GUARANÍ idioma oficial del Paraguay 🇵🇾🇵🇾 Tereré bebida nacional del 🇵🇾 Hablado x mas del 90% d la población. Tereré bebida consumida x todos los paraguayos... Lo único que diga que es nuestro país cuido y cultivo su cultura guarani.. A lo largo de la historia Brasil es enorme inmenso y nadie a nivel población tiene identidad guarani. Sólo es eso lo que digo. Lo mismo cn ARGENTINA Sólo n el litoral tienen esa cultura . Porque lo que es a nivel pais ni la mínima idea.. No digo ninguna tontería. Ni idiotez si lo piensas d la manera q t lo planteo sin patriotismo. Te darás cuenta
I was number one thousand do you like your video thank you for showing me I just had my first cup tonight and it was beautiful💜 actually it was the first cup I ever made because in 2002 I went to a friend's house and he introduced me to yerba mate what has taken me this long to finally buy some of my own.
Can yerba mate cause breathing problems due to the smoke in the drying process? Because smokers complain about shortness of breath. Do you honestly feel short of breath, or have you at any time due to drinking smoked yerba mate. I have no problem with the kraus clean ones
Cheers mate, great video, sadly I just watched it 2 years after you uploaded it , but better later than never hehe, despite the fact of the "bombilla" movement that is forbidden, you didn`t explained why u put your finger on the top while you put the bombilla in, creating a vacuum to avoid the herbs and dust to enter on it and get clogged.
Gourd?? That is a “mate”! Dude, to much information, you are making it to complicated! people that is NOT the way to drink mate!! And once you pour the first water you do NOT move the bombilla!! , it is also supposed to be a casual and fun occasion. Nothing better than a yankee to ruin the pleasure of drinking mate 🤦🏻♂️
We prepare mate very differently to this. My background is Lebanese and I love mate. We actually use a colander to remove the dust and wash it before we pour it in a small/medium size glass cup and sometimes we add herbal stuff to it (e.g., chamomile) than hot water. (some people add sugar which is odd to me not sure how they drink it with sugar). Some add honey as well because of the bitter taste which I love.
I put the loose mate in and I shake it but it doesn't go to the top after it just goes back down, do I put water in and how much do I put in? hope anyone can help me thank you
Brother! really good video, im from Chile, and I just share your video with some Tursih friends for them to learn how to prepare it! Chilean approved! hahaha all best
The only thing I will say is that I’ve seen a lot of people telling you not to move the Bombilla. I don’t know why, but for whatever reason it seems to be a thing a lot of people don’t do.
Up to 20 times. That's even more infusions than most Gong Fu Cha tea ceremonies. Of course, so is the amount of leaf. It's probably double or triple the amount used for Gong Fu brewing in a teapot or gaiwan, which makes me wonder the capacity of gourds. Chinese tea brewing vessels are typically 100-200ml roughly.
This will vary from mate to mate but usually you can drink one and a half liters of water through. Just go until it loses its flavor and becomes "washed"
If your water is way too hot it will go bad fast. Just watery. But if you get the temperature right and pour water gently ( unlike when you pour it on a glass) it will last longer. Depends on how strong or watery you like it. There are people for all tastes
Thank you!!! So much. I’m about to buy the gourd. I already have the Organic Yerba Mate. As you said I will purchase a original wooden one. Thank you 🙏
I'm Egyptian myself.and I do drink Mate on daily basis I been in Syria twice 2006 and 2007 plus I have a lot of Syrian friends we do drink mate in the gathering we don't all this process just Tik tak booooom and we start sipping lol 😂😂😂😂
just encountered... :P, yerba mate. and also encountered... :P, your channel and i love how you present this herb... idk where im going with this lmfao.. earned yourself a subscriber!!
Hi. I am new on Yerba Mate Team . I put about 50g (4-5 tablespoons spoons) of Canarias and then I drink until taste like water. Is it a right way? Advise me , Please. I had one kg and after 3 weeks it goes down rapidly . Shall I put less spoons? I’ve heard that people drink even 4 l. I was addicted of strong powder coffee and I just stopped and I can manage with mate . It works very good.
Sí pero no haría falta un lavado exhaustivo, tan solo enjuagar el residuo de yerba y ya está listo para el siguiente uso, en medida de que ya se haya secado
The healthiest drink would be water. Depending on which part in the world you are drinking it of course. Everything that is roasted has PAH in it, even coffee or some cereals. The thing is, in excessive amounts, everything is bad for you, even water. And the light green leaves shouldn't pose to much of a threat. (they still have a green color and not dark brown or black) Also, in a big city where cars are lining up in front of a red light, you think there are no PAH's there? Try and live a little, do what feels right, but do it in moderation and you'll be ok. That being said, enjoy your occasional mate. ;)
I don’t know why, but for some reason it’s super rare to encounter yerba mate in Sweden. People usually give me pretty strange looks when I mention mate and all its great benefits. Only a few oriental shops occasionally sells it, which is a shame.
Is the room temperature water part really necessary? It's been shown that hot water extracts more from the mate than cold water. As long as it's not too hot shouldn't it be okay to just use hot water by itself?
